In my previous blog, I discussed how continuous observability can be used to deliver continuous reliability. We also discussed the problem of high change failure rates in most enterprises, and how teams fail to proactively address failure risk before changes go into production. This is because manual assessment of change risk is both labor intensive and time consuming, and often contributes to deployment and release delays.
At Broadcom Software, we’re constantly trying to speed value delivery and minimize upgrade efforts for our customers. Toward that end, the DX Unified Infrastructure Management (DX UIM) team releases cumulative updates every calendar quarter. In addition to quality fixes, these cumulative updates include performance improvements, feature enhancements, and expanded platform support. Recently DX UIM 20.4, cumulative update 4, was released for both Operator Console and Server Core packs.
Recent, high-profile cybersecurity exploits, such as Sun Burst and Log4j, demonstrate that every enterprise is only a stone’s throw from a software vulnerability. This becomes especially critical when security is breached in a network monitoring component that has privileged access to core enterprise systems. In the case of Sun Burst, a well-known monitoring software provider made international headlines.
